"The earth has reached its first catastrophic tipping point linked to greenhouse gas emissions, with warm water coral reefs now facing a long-term decline and risking the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people.

[Peter Mumby] said coral reefs needed “aggressive” action on climate change & improved local management, but he was concerned some would interpret the report as saying coral reef habitats were heading for collapse, which was a position he did not support."

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Global Tipping Points Report:

"Harmful tipping points in the natural world threaten humanity by disrupting life support systems and societal stability. The effects of tipping points will be transmitted and amplified throughout our globalised world. To mitigate these risks, we should focus on positive tipping points—opportunities where beneficial changes become self-sustaining. History shows rapid societal shifts are possible. "

Every fraction of a degree in warming counts.
And: In order to win, we need to win fast.

So do what you can, at whatever level is accessible to you, from what's on your own plate for dinner, to what's happening in your city or town, to who makes the decisions in your region or country. Everyone's help is needed.

"Climate tipping point risks are interconnected. Most of the interactions between them are destabilising. This means that tipping one system over into disaster makes tipping another more likely. The negative impacts would cascade through the ecological and social systems we depend upon, creating damage that keeps mounting up."

Climate tipping points are close: scientists urge radical action before it’s too late

Dangerous climate tipping points will threaten food, water and coastlines. They’re irreversible and only radically accelerated climate action can stop them now.

"With global warming soon to exceed the Paris agreement target of 1.5°C average global warming, “the world has entered a new reality,” warns the Dartington Declaration, led by climate scientist Tim Lenton and issued Dec. 1. “This puts humanity in the danger zone where multiple climate tipping points pose devastating risks to billions of people,” and “every fraction of a degree of additional warming increases the risk of triggering further damaging tipping points.”"
